Three injured as squirrel goes nuts

A ferocious squirrel went on the rampage in Germany this week, attacking three people before meeting its match in an angry 72-year-old.
Police in the southern town of Passau said the creature attacked a 70-year-old woman on Tuesday, sinking its teeth into her hand.
It next entered a building site and jumped on a construction worker, injuring his hand and arm before he fought it off with a pole.
A police spokesman said the squirrel then finally met its end - but it didn't go down without a fight.
"The squirrel went into the 72-year-old man's garden and attacked him on the arms, hand and thigh," the spokesman said. "Then he killed it with his crutch."
He explained that experts thought the creature's behaviour could have been brought on by the mating season, or it could have been ill.
I have nothing to add to this article to make it any funnier than it already is. Reality has beaten me to the punch.
This does, however, provide a great segue to post a pic that has been living on my computer for a while now. Something I've always wanted to post, but never had a reason to. I think that this is about as close as I'm going to get.
Cheers,
Mr.B
